Among the most popular and reliable trailer brake controllers is the Tekonsha Prodigy P2 # 90885. This unit is highly rated by our customers and includes a number of great features that make it easy to use, including built-in diagnostics, compatibility with both electric brakes and electric-over-hydraulic brakes as well as a 360 degree vertical mounting range. The linked article will give you plenty of good background on controllers.

In your 2006 Silverado you can use the quick-connect harness # 3015-P which allows simple plug-in installation to the port located under your dash. I have linked an article that covers the entire process of brake controller installation in your Silverado, including step-by-step instructions and photos.
